I've always wanted to suggest this

add this into dbconst.txt

COLOR_Aqua 0x00FFFFCOLOR_Black 0x000000COLOR_Blue 0x0000FFCOLOR_Gray 0x808080COLOR_Green 0x008000COLOR_Lime 0x00FF00COLOR_Maroon 0x800000COLOR_Navy 0x000080COLOR_Olive 0x808000COLOR_Orange 0xFFA500COLOR_Purple 0x800080COLOR_Red 0xFF0000COLOR_Silver 0xC0C0C0COLOR_Teal 0x008080COLOR_White 0xFFFFFFCOLOR_Yellow 0xFFFF00COLOR_Pink 0xFFC0CBCOLOR_Chocolate 0xD2691ECOLOR_Cyan 0x00FFFFCOLOR_Gold 0xFFD700COLOR_Violet 0xEE82EE
then when you script, you can just refer to constant file to get your color
no numbers ... and it also tells you which color for the announcement

prontera,162,180,5 script aasdf 100,{ announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Aqua; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Black; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Blue;// announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Fuchsia; // not working announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Gray; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Green; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Lime; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Maroon; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Navy; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Olive; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Orange; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Purple; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Red; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Silver; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Teal; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_White; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Yellow; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Pink; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Chocolate; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Cyan; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Gold; announce "test color", bc_all, COLOR_Violet; end;}
MAGIC !

Add all of these ?

maybe too many ?
or just a few that frequently use enough ?

edit: I think just 17 colors enough ?
I mean 18, plus Pink

O.o I thought this was already a thing, just it wasn't documented, kinda like how bc_blue / bc_green / bc_red etc... worked, even though only Blue and Yellow were documented.

 
yes, it wasn't document, that's why I'm suggesting this

this is what I have in mind before commiting

though, feels like there's no responds, might get rejected =/

Well, I can see it being a practical use in announcement scripts, but not so much with mes and such, as ^000000 is far shorter than ^"+COLOR_xxxx+"

Perhaps you can just shorten it to: C_Aqua or c_aqua  since that gives almost the same amount of characters to type, aside from the "++".

 
I think it's a neat idea. When it comes to announcements VIA events, etc. I don't see this being a bad idea. For me and my events, I've always wanted a variety of colours lol. 

Towards GmOcean's comment, I gotta agree with that. If theres a way to make it shorter for 'mes' it'd be best... otherwise using ^000000 is a better way to go.

 
I also think that this is necessary.

But yes, keep in mind that the shortest is the best. (I prefer not to use the ^000000, it is kinda chaotic when you have a lot of different colors :/)
